If we could be anyone in the world, who would we be? Such an interesting question to ponder. Who would we choose to be and why? If we're wanting to be someone else, then we're probably feeling stuck in our circumstances... or stuck on a certain path. We've certainly been set on a distinct course, given where we were born, who our parents are, what they did for a living and the opportunities we were presented with, or not presented with. Most importantly, we come to the table with a set of genes that largely dictate who we are capable of being... or are we?
According to The Biology of Belief, by Bruce Lipton, our cells are affected by the environment, even above genetic pre-wiring. This is a revolutionary discovery that paves the way to new thinking. Medically or scientifically speaking, our perceptions really do shape our biology. According to Lipton, our cells have two modes - protection and growth - but the cells can only perform one function at a time. By the same token, if we go into protect mode, growth is inhibited and our energy level is compromised.. and the longer we remain in this state, the more we compromise our vitality. Supposedly, removing stress alone is not sufficient in order to thrive. Similar to how each cell actively seeks nutrition, we also need to seek joyful, loving and fulfilling experiences and circumstances in order to live happy, healthy lives. Above all, we need to create a great environment internally and externally in order to give ourselves the best chance of success and well-being.
